11-cis-Retinol (>85%) is a critical retinoid intermediate synthesized via asymmetric hydrogenation or enzymatic resolution. It serves as the direct precursor for vitamin A derivatives. Molecular Formula: C20H28O; CAS No.: 4796-99-2.
Requires storage under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent oxidation. Strictly controlled in clinical formulations due to potential teratogenicity; handle with PPE to avoid dermal absorption.
